State and Local Policy

Policy decisions made at the state and local levels directly impact the lives of infants, toddlers and their families.

ZERO TO THREE’S Policy Center works directly with leaders and advocates across the country to advance policies that help families with young children thrive. Our resources highlight innovative state and community approaches and strategies to improve and better coordinate services for young children and their families.
